Chick-fil-A Gets an A Rating

For those of you who know me well. You know how much I LOVE Chick-Fil-A and how often I eat there! I found this article and had to share it :)

Chick-fil-A
Chick-fil-A excels in every category we tested for. With a slew of low-calorie sandwiches, the country’s “healthiest” chicken nugget, a variety of solid sides like fresh fruit and soup that can be substituted into any meal, and nutritional brochures readily available for perusing at each location, Chick-fil-A earns the award for America’s Healthiest Chain Restaurant (for kids, for the adults who drive them there, plus anybody else wise enough to make it their fast food choice).

Family Camping Fun & 4th of July in Indy

We went to Indy to visit Mark & Julie this weekend. It was lots of fun!! We had lots of yummy food, went to the zoo, went to the canal to "sail" David's & Mark's remote control sail boats & we went swimming at the pool. It was a weekend full of laughter, tears & more tears. The 3 yr olds, Easton & Laisa, where either fighting over a toy or holding hands like best friends. All the while driving their parents CRAZY!!! Why can't toddlers learn that it's so much easier to just TAKE TURNS!!!!! Anyway, I had lots of chance for fun pictures but I forgot my camera :( I was very sad about that! Thanks for the fun weekend Mark & Julie. I hope we didn't leave you to exhausted.
On a positive note, we went camping last weekend & I did remember my camera! We went with David's other brothers Michael, Matt & their families. DeAnn, Otto & the boys came for the day on Sat. We had lots of fun doing a treasure hunt, playing at the beach, riding bikes, playing at the pool & of course sitting around the campfire. Here are some pictures of the great times.

Camping Fun!

Lily's 1st Birthday Party

We had Lily's 1st b-day party this past weekend at Potato Creek. She'll be 1 this Friday, I can't believe she's going to be 1 years old already. She is such a sweetie and then you turn your back and she is such a menace!!! She gets into EVERYTHING and has recently discovered a love for climbing. This would include opening a drawer, climbing inside and getting stuck. Also, she loves water and the bathtub!! The other day I caught her with one leg hiked over the side of the tub trying to climb in, the tub was empty of course. All of this and when it comes to walking, she holds on to you for dear life. :) Anyway, here are some pictures of her party.

Lily's First Word

I was playing with Lily over the weekend, showing her how to use the phone & trying to get her to say "HI" :) Not really thinking she would do it. When all of the sudden she says "HI" It was sooo cute. I couldn't believe it, she was just 11 months on the 27th. I knew if I told David he would just say I imagined it. So I got her saying it on video. We have not figured out how to put the video on the computer yet. However, when we do I'll be sure to post it. She does say the normal baby talk of "mama, dada & baba" but this is her first real word :)
